Mash hot carrots with butter. Mix in syrup, honey, and spices. Chill several hours. Form into patties, and dredge generously in AP flour. Place in dish and chill 20 minutes.

Heat a frying pan. Add 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Fry patties a few at a time until nicely browned on each side. I used a cast iron pan, so I really had to keep the heat low-adjust according to your own pan/stove.
